The Peak Showdown_2 Chapter 488: 221: Hypocritical Elder Brother!
The Peak Showdown_2 The opponent had likely cultivated the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Longevity Technique to its twelfth and highest level, with more than double his Dan Power.
Putting aside actual combat power and solely comparing Dan Power cultivation, Hua Zhenyu was now no less than Qiao Zhaoxian two years ago.
His strength was truly astonishing.
“His cultivation is indeed formidable.
Battling with him, I must not entangle myself in a drawn-out fight.
...
It must end quickly.”
After this thought emerged in Chen Dengming’s mind, a new summons came from the front.
An executive immediately approached him, politely asking if he had rested enough.
Theoretically, after each round of the magic duel, every participant was entitled to approximately half an hour’s rest.
Chen Dengming had not even rested for a quarter of an hour yet, so he could request more rest time to recuperate.
Chen Dengming stood up tall, smiled lightly, and said, “No need, I am ready for the battle!”
However, this time his opponent was Rao Ling, the only False Core female cultivator among the five candidates.
Apart from Chen Dengming, the False Core Cultivators chosen as candidates were almost all who had cultivated the Longevity Technique to the eleventh and even twelfth levels, possessing an abundant amount of Dan Power.
In terms of cultivation level, they were stronger than Chen Dengming.
Huyan Shunbin, who initiated the bout by competing against Chen Dengming with Divine Sense, had evidently adopted the wrong strategy, abandoning his strengths and attacking Chen Dengming’s strengths.
Therefore, Chen Dengming didn’t dare to underestimate Rao Ling and still went all out.
Unexpectedly, whether the senior sister was shocked by his previous show of combat power, or she deliberately intended to show him some kindness, her words were exceedingly polite, and her moves were restrained.
Chen Dengming didn’t have to exert much effort, easily winning the magic duel.
At the end, Rao Ling, looking as serene as water, saluted him and cast him a bright glance, speaking softly with a smile.
“Brother Chen, I knew I wouldn’t stand a chance against you, so I spared both of us the embarrassment of an unnecessary fight.
This way, both of us look good, and we avoid damaging our bond as fellow disciples with shameful tricks.”
Chen Dengming was taken aback, looking at Rao Ling standing tall with her neat eyebrows and bright eyes.
Her plain Robe seemed to highlight her unbound and transcendent temperament, which made him feel a liking for her.
He immediately followed suit and saluted her, expressing his gratitude telepathically, “Thank you, Sister Rao, for sparing me this time.”
Rao Ling flashed a gratifying smile, appraising Chen Dengming, secretly admiring his modesty.
Unlike some people who seemed humble but were in fact merely pretending.

“I didn’t expect this, Brother Chen.
You’re rather eloquent.
No wonder even smart and competent beauties like Junior Sister He are subdued by you.”
Finishing her sentence, she gently turned around and left.
Chen Dengming also casually turned and departed without a fuss.
Stop when it’s enough.
This was something that was emphasized in the Sect’s magic duels.
The bond between fellow disciples was perfectly exemplified at this moment.
At this point, Chen Dengming inferred the hidden intention behind Rao Ling’s words.
She wouldn’t resort to any dirty tricks to destroy the comradeship between fellow disciples.
The person who was slandering him and attempting to harm his reputation must be someone else.
By now, it was clear who was setting him up.
Before this, even though there were suspicions due to the multiple circulating rumors, the suspect was still among the other four candidates without any concrete evidence.
Now, it could be determined that the one who was resorting to despicable means was either Huyan Shunbin or Hua Zhenyu.
Considering Huyan Shunbin’s competition power that didn’t pose much of a threat, a conclusion had almost been reached.
“Hua Zhenyu, Elder Brother Hua…”
Chen Dengming returned to his seat, looking at Hua Zhenyu from afar.
The latter was still wearing a warm smile on his face, courteously looking back at him, and slightly shaking his head in acknowledgment.
This harmless facade that the man wore, coupled with his underhanded methods, was enough to deceive many into falling for his tricks.
Quite the character!
Chen Dengming ridiculed inwardly.
At this time, Jade Cauldron True Monarch Ye Yong had already begun to announce the next round of magic duels, which would be contested between Huyan Shunbin and Hua Zhenyu.
This round ended swiftly, as Huyan Shunbin chose to forfeit directly due to his severe injuries.
Jade Cauldron True Monarch then continued to announce the next round, “Tan Siyan, Chen Dengming, both of you…”
“Martial Uncle Ye, there’s no need.
I am no match for Brother Chen, I admit my defeat.”
Tan Siyan stood up and forfeited voluntarily.
He then looked at Chen Dengming, smiling as he transmitted his voice.
“Brother Chen, I want to see you teach that hypocrite Hua Zhenyu a hard lesson.
Don’t disappoint me.”
Chen Dengming turned around, surprised, and raised his hand in return as a gesture of gratitude.
“The bastard!
He fought me to death earlier, but now he concedes.”
Hua Zhenyu’s face darkened.
Two consecutive rounds of forfeit drew some restlessness among the Qi Cultivation disciples in the audience.
Many disciples were complaining inwardly but dared not express it directly.
In the Sect of the Cultivation World, power was supreme and hierarchy was strict.
Although the atmosphere in the Longevity Sect was rather friendly,
ordinary Qi Cultivation disciples dared not show dissatisfaction towards the Longevity Seed candidates.
Even if they were frustrated, they dared not voice their discontent openly.
Jade Cauldron True Monarch continued with the announcement.
The next round would be Rao Ling against Hua Zhenyu.
This round of magic duels too had no suspense.
Both of them didn’t use their full strength, and Hua Zhenyu won without much effort.
Not only were numerous disciples feeling bored, but even many of the executives and False Core cultivators found it uninteresting.
They preferred intense magic duels that could not only get their blood pumping but also allow them to learn some fighting techniques.
However, everyone knew that the final battle between Chen Dengming and Hua Zhenyu would end this bland spectacle.
